Chapter 463 Miss Luo Qixi, who attracts younger men
"Miss Susanna, what is the latest deadline for tuition payment?"
"Miss Luo Qixi, as long as you pay your tuition by the end of February at the latest, before March, you won't be kicked out."
"I heard that outstanding students can get tuition reductions or waivers, is that true?"
In early February of the 409th year of the Ankylosaurus calendar, at the payment counter of Lanoa Magic University, a blue-haired demon girl leaned over the counter, looking at Susanna with hopeful eyes. As a second-year student who was about to enter her third year, Loki had achieved excellent grades in all aspects last year.
"Yes, that's true, but you need a professor's recommendation..."
"Can't you make an exception?"
"I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide."
Loki Migludia sighed, but didn't continue to make things difficult for the other party.
"I will pay the tuition in full before the payment deadline."
Luo Qixi wondered if she should ask Ms. Ivyas, who was relatively friendly to her, to write a letter of recommendation for her in order to get a tuition reduction for the new academic year.
However, she wasn't particularly interested in the magic circle magic that her teacher, Ivyas, was researching.
Okay, it's mainly because it's too expensive.
Without sufficient financial support, one cannot go far in acquiring the materials needed to draw a magic circle.
Poor people should chant incantations properly and use their magic to cast spells.
If she were to owe someone a favor and be drawn into their research area, she felt she would be poor for the rest of her life.
[Will Professor Najinas help me write a letter of recommendation? He seems like a very serious person, but he often recommends relevant magic research books to me in the library. If it's him, he shouldn't make things difficult for me because of my demon identity...]
Luo Qixi thought again, and the water king-level magic research project led by the other party was exactly what she wanted to learn about later.
After all, she's destined to become a water goddess-level mage!
"Luo Qixi, what are you thinking about?"
Just as the demon girl puffed out her little chest, feeling a little proud of her imagined future as a water god-level mage, her petite body was suddenly attacked. Her white-haired catgirl roommate hugged her from behind, her head going over her shoulder and rubbing against her face.
"Rene, stop ambushing me like this."
Luo Qixi raised her hand and shoved the white catgirl's head.
"Who can blame me when my Luo Qixi is so cute and smells so good~"
Ignoring the demon girl's resistance, the white catgirl nestled close to the girl's neck and took a deep breath, looking like a large white cat addicted to demons.
Unable to withstand her roommate's warrior-like physique any longer, the demon girl finally gave up resisting, sighed, and asked, "So, why did Rene-chan come to see me? Are you planning to invite me to go on a dungeon adventure together? I was just about to go to the Adventurers' Guild to pick up some commissions."
Anyone who studies magic knows how expensive it is. Although Loki is an A-rank adventurer and has a decent earning ability in the Adventurers' Guild of the Kingdom of Lanoa, where there are quests of all levels, she still can't keep up with the expenses of various materials needed for learning magic every day.
In the past two years, while studying at the Magic University, Loki also took part-time jobs at the Adventurers' Guild on holidays. However, some people looked down on her because of the size of the Migrudia race, treating her like a child and refusing to team up with her.
After becoming teammates with Rene, she also had a regular adventurer team. With just the two of them, they could venture into some dungeons with a high degree of danger and gain considerable rewards from them.
"Is Luo Qixi short of money when accepting commissions?"
"It's a new year, and tuition for the new semester is due. Don't you need it, Rene?"
"I don't lack it, because I'm a special admission student and don't need to pay tribute to the academy. On the contrary, I have quite a few underlings in this academy, and they're the ones who need to pay tribute to me, their boss!"
Luo Qixi: "..."
Ah, those despicable special admissions students, those despicable orcish traditions of recognizing a leader.
"However, if you're short on money, I just heard some good news from the Adventurers' Guild about how to make money easily."
The white catgirl suddenly said.
"What good news? Is it adventure quests? But if they're easy to make money from, then they're considered high-quality quests. Those kinds of quests would be snapped up as soon as they're listed in the guild quest log. They shouldn't be a problem for students like us who only do adventure quests every now and then, right?"
Luo Qixi said.
"No, this request is special. I heard it started in the Kingdom of Nellis. There's a guy who posts requests in the adventurers' guilds of the cities he passes through, offering money to anyone who goes to meet him."
"You pay me just for meeting them?"
Luo Qixi was somewhat stunned.
"Isn't this just plain stupid?"
She started complaining.
"Who knows? They probably have more money than they can spend."
Rene shrugged.
"Could it be a trap, like some cult selecting sacrifices or something?"
Luo Qixi was somewhat skeptical. Based on her past life experience, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
For example, the handsome adventurer who accepted the escort mission with her, showered her with attention, and pursued her before coming to the Kingdom of Lanoa.
It turns out that his pursuit of her was a pretense; his real intention was to swindle her tuition money to pay off his own debts so she could enroll in the magic academy.
"Who knows? But some people have actually received the money, and not just one or two, but many people."
Rene shrugged.
"Okay, even if there are some foolish, rich guys, how much money can the other party possibly offer them just for a meeting?"
Loki was somewhat skeptical, and she had no interest in the commission of a few copper coins.
"I heard it was one Lanoa silver coin."
"Rene replied."
"When can we start meeting in person? I can't wait!"
Just by meeting them, you can get the equivalent of one-twentieth of the university tuition fee. Who would complain?
"According to the schedule, that rich, foolish guy who posts meeting requests everywhere will arrive in Sharia in about two days. However, the only gender for the meeting is female, and the same person cannot register to meet and collect money repeatedly."
Rene replied that she wasn't very enthusiastic about it, because most of her underlings were male orcs, so even if she wanted to take advantage of the fools, she couldn't.
"Rene-chan, will you be coming with me?"
"Uh, if Luo Qixi wants me to come along."
While waiting, Loki also went to the Adventurers' Guild to see if there were any other lucrative commissions available, and also to inquire about the situation regarding meet-and-greets.
After all, Rene was an orc, and orcs are known for not being very bright. Lokishi was afraid that this was a shady commission.
But after learning more, Luo Qixi felt relieved. The content of the request to meet someone in order to find her destined partner showed that the person who posted the request was probably spending money to audition.
As for an ordinary demon girl like her, she was probably just there to go through the motions, to be a filler who took the money and left.
*Smack!*
A slap landed on her forehead, and Luo Qixi's face flushed slightly. She was actually relieved at that moment because of her ordinary, petite figure.
"Luo Qixi, why are you hitting your own forehead?"
The catgirl next to her seemed a little confused.
"No, I was just swatting mosquitoes."
The demon girl looked at her catgirl roommate, who was only wearing a tube top and already had a deep cleavage, with a somewhat disappointed expression.
If she could, she would also like to have a figure as proud and upright as his, but the Migrudia tribe really can't do it, how hateful!
With a sigh, Luo Qixi continued to check the guild quest log for any lucrative commissions, preferably those that didn't require too much time to complete.
. . . .
"We're almost at the magical city of Sharia. The news of the commission was sent out a week ago, so the people there should be ready."
In the spacious, luxurious carriage, Alsterd looked at the Saiyan boy sitting cross-legged opposite him, holding two tree branches and practicing two different styles of swordsmanship with his left and right hands simultaneously.
"I just hope that this time there won't be too many men dressed as women in that city."
Broly stopped what he was doing and said something.
"The meeting fee has been reduced from three silver coins to one silver coin, so there shouldn't be any more of those kinds of guys. Of course, if there really are, I wouldn't mind making them real 'women'."
Alsterd doesn't care much about the loss of money, but he hates being fooled. Last time, he broke the arms and legs of a group of men dressed as women who came to collect money and threw them out of the meet-and-greet.
Upon arriving at the magical city of Sharia in the Kingdom of Lanoa, the Adventurers' Guild Master was already waiting for the big spender.
The Dragon God put on a pair of sunglasses and went outside. Although this couldn't undo the curse on him, it could reduce the immense pressure his fierce gaze would put on outsiders.
[What a terrifying person!]
This is the feeling people get when they first see Alsterd.
No wonder no thieves dared to target that foolish, rich guy in the car.
This is the second idea. As long as there is a suitable reason to explain the existence of Orstide, most people will not immediately fall into a panic and want to run away from him.
"President of the Sharia Adventurers' Guild, this is the fee for the commission I posted. I'm entrusting it to you for safekeeping for now. I hope there aren't any incompetent people on Sharia's side."
"Rest assured, we are professionals. Even if some disguised individuals manage to infiltrate, we will absolutely not pay them. I wish Lord Broly success in finding his destined partner in Sharia."
Alster stood silently beside Broly, leaving the negotiations to Broly. The guild master of the Sharia Adventurers' Guild led the two into the city, and, lured by the generous reward, arranged the best inn for Broly and Alster.
The meeting was scheduled for the afternoon, and before that, Broly and Alster could do some sightseeing in Sharia.
However, to avoid causing chaos, neither of them went outside. After a while, they arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.
Meanwhile, the area was already packed with people, with a large number of women dressed up and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the gullible old man who would hand out money—or rather, the young master who spends money like water, has a very mysterious background, and is suspected to be from a top noble family or a wealthy merchant family.
"Ugh, it's so crowded, meow~"
The catgirl stood in the crowd, feeling like she had nowhere to stand.
"There's no way around it; the lure of a silver coin has drawn almost all the lower and middle-class women in Sharia."
People of all ages came here, and what's even more outrageous is that parents brought over baby girls in swaddling clothes.
Because, in the commission to meet people, there are no age restrictions for the women being met.
Anyone with a woman in their household who comes to see you will receive a silver coin; anyone who doesn't come is a fool.
Meanwhile, many women from noble or wealthy merchant families, who were unmoved by a single silver coin, came over to watch the spectacle.
The city guards of Sharia were maintaining order. The matter had already been discussed with the city lord's mansion. As for the dark mass of people, Broly only needed to glance at them to know whether there were any acknowledged targets among them.
[New romance target discovered: Loki Migrudia, currently at happiness level 3 (looking forward to collecting rewards)]
I thought this was just another formality, a way to distribute the dating funds provided by Alsterd.
As a result, the Crystal Palace, which had remained silent for the first eighteen cycles, suddenly reacted.
"Hey, is that all? Can we get our money now?"
After Broly discovered his target, the meeting place was evacuated.
The receptionists at the Adventurers' Guild each had a large bag of silver coins beside them, handing out money to women leaving the premises.
During this time, some men dressed as women were also dragged away, but apart from these people, everyone else had a genuine smile on their face, because for most of the common people in Sharia, one silver coin was equivalent to almost half a month's wages.
"This money is so easy to make, it's a pity we can't do it again."
On her way back to the Magic University, Loki said this to the cat-eared girl beside her, and suddenly the girl's tail and ears stood up.
"What's wrong, Rene-chan?"
"Rene-chan senses the terrifying aura of the enemy."
"enemy?"
Luo Qixi was confused; where could there be an enemy in the city?
"In heaven."
The white catgirl looked up as if sensing something, and Luo Qixi followed suit, only to see two figures descending.
"A very keen sense, but I don't recall him. He shouldn't be anyone too powerful."
Orstide glanced at the white catgirl and said something.
Rene's hair stood on end from the Dragon God's gaze.
"Is this the employer who posted the meeting request?!"
Luo Qixi's lips twitched, thinking that she couldn't possibly be so unlucky as to be targeted by a malicious person with ulterior motives.
"It's me, my name is Broly. I wonder if this lady from the Migrudia tribe would be willing to become my wife as the ultimate goal, and become my friend?"
After Broly finished introducing himself, he began to ask questions.
"Can I refuse?"
Loki took a step back, looking at him warily, or rather, at Alster standing beside him.
"Huh?"
Broly was somewhat taken aback, while the Dragon God Orstide frowned and glared at the demon girl.
"We can refund the meeting fee to you."
Feeling immense pressure, Luo Qixi quickly said something and took out the silver coins she had earned from completing the meeting request from her pocket.
Broly: "..."
"Are you going to take him away by force?"
When Orstide asked the question, he was already prepared to knock out the demon girl opposite him and take Lokishi away.
"Huh~"
"Don't even think about laying a hand on my little brother."
The white catgirl shielded Loki behind her, looking as if she might launch an attack at any moment.
Loki also secretly took out her staff; if a conflict broke out later, she would fight alongside Rene.
"No, I want to conquer, not attack."
Broly rejected Alsterd's suggestion. What good would forcibly take him away do? His happiness stat would definitely drop to zero.
"How did things turn out like this? It feels like we're the bad guys."
Upon hearing what the Saiyan boy opposite her said, Loki's lips twitched slightly.
Isn't this just like a rich young master with vicious guards forcibly abducting a woman?
Orstide: "..."
"I think this must be due to the curse on me. Well then, I'll go first. Broly, you talk to the other party yourself."
After saying that, Orstide flew away.
The tense atmosphere subsided only after he left.
As Rene's fur gradually loosened, Loki breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure from Alsterd was immense.
But now that there was only one boy left on the other side, Luo Qixi felt less pressured and silently put the small staff back into her pocket.
"So, my Luo Qixi is the destined one you've been looking for, meow?"
After Broly explained, the white catgirl Rene finally understood that these weren't bad guys who came to ambush them, but rather guys who were pursuing Loki.
"Even if you say that, you're still... way too young!"
Luo Qixi didn't understand why she had been chosen. Of course, it was always a good thing to have someone pursuing her, but the fact that the person pursuing her seemed to be younger than her was a bit of a headache.
Does she possess some kind of physique that attracts younger men? Young Master Feng is like that, and so is this young Master Broly in front of her.
"Am I young? I'm already thirteen years old."
Broly looked at the age Crystal Palace recognized and didn't feel young.
"Thirteen years old? He's just a little kid who hasn't even grown up yet!"
"Rene said."
"In short, young master Broly, you're not my type right now. If you want to pursue me, please wait until you're a bit older."
Luo Qixi rejected him, then cautiously asked, "By the way, if I reject you, you won't ask me for the meeting fee back, will you?"
Broly shook his head.
"That's good."
Luo Qixi patted her slightly bulging chest and looked relieved.
"Well then, little Broly, bye-bye meow."
The white catgirl waved to Broly.
"Let's talk about mating when you're older!"
She said something truly shocking.
The demon girl next to him covered his mouth and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking to a child?"
After the two left, the dragon god Orstide returned to Broly's side.
"How is it?"
He asked it.
"I was rejected; she thought I was too young."
Broly answered.
"What should we do then?"
Orstide asked again.
"You always need to work on someone you're trying to win over; it's not like I can just tell them and they'll agree, right?"
Broly was not disappointed.
"What do you want to do?"
"Let's put that aside for now. I plan to settle accounts with that guy, the God of Humanity. Orstide, how about we go fight the God of Humanity tonight?"
